The former Panthers and Bears defensive end signed a three-year deal Saturday. The team didn't disclose financial terms, but agent Carl Carey said it is for $30 million ($7.5 million guaranteed).

The Packers did not make Peppers available to the media, instead quoting him on their website: "I haven't won a championship. That's where my focus is. I feel like the team is set up to make a run, and I feel I can help get it there."

Peppers went to the Super Bowl in February 2004 with the Panthers, losing to the Patriots.

Peppers, 34, was released Tuesday by the Bears to save salary cap space. He would have counted for $18.183 million, including a base salary of $13 million.

Peppers played in all 64 of the Bears' games the past four seasons, posting 37½ sacks. His 7½ last season were his fewest since a career-low 2½ in 2007, but they still would have tied linebacker Clay Matthews for most among the Packers.

In Green Bay, Peppers is reunited with Mike Trgovac, who coached him for his first seven seasons in Carolina. Trgovac is the Packers' defensive line coach.
